How this automation works
Automatically control your smart home devices when rain begins. This Applet activates when your Tempest Weather System detects the start of rain, turning off your selected SmartThings devices and putting your Rachio irrigation controller into rain delay mode. Perfect for saving energy and water by preventing unnecessary outdoor device use during wet weather.
